"Now it's your turn"

I said eagerly

Anxious to learn about this mystery

And all she had been keeping hidden.

Rose gave me a knowing smile

Pursed her lips

And began speaking.

"Everyone begs to know my story

And I always give the brief one

But maybe I can tell you the real one.

I am also lonely

I am also sad

I have also done bad things

But unlike you

I do not regret.

I learn that life

Is not made for relishing mistakes

But for living as you go.

You say sex used to be your only care?

Well I was the same way

Until a boy came into my life.

A boy who made me realize

That love is stronger than lust.

I started craving hugs

More than sex

And being called 'beautiful'

Rather than 'sexy'.

Love has no eyes

But it has a soul of its own."

I pondered her words

Thinking of a response

But all I could manage to say was

"Where is he now?"

She ran her fingers

Through her hair

And sighed.

"Gone."

One simple word

Made my heart ache for her

Because the one thing

That had made her

Change her views on love

Was missing from her life.

"I don't know what happened

Nor do I want to know

But I will be here for you

And I will most likely stay."
